Take a day off if you're so emotionally affected by something that you're unable to stop crying. Or work from home. Anything else is likely to be disruptive to your coworkers. I have a lot of empathy for people experiencing emotional distress, whatever the reason. I would never complain about them and would do my best to offer sympathy when appropriate. But I really shouldn't be put in that position at work, and if I was emotionally disturbed I would not come into work so as to avoid putting my coworkers in that position. I think this is all doubly true if we're talking about the results of an election. Some of your coworkers may be happy for the same reason you're upset.
